Abstract:
:The coexistence of polyp of the verumontanum, epidermoid paraurethral cyst and cryptorchidism presents a mosaic of congenital anomalies of the urogenital tract. We present a 30-year-old patient with a medical history of unilateral cryptorchidism, urinary tract infections, obstructive voiding symptoms and perineal discomfort. Clinical and laboratory evaluation revealed a pending filling defect in the prostatic urethra and a palpable elastic mass located on the right side of the bulbar urethra. Transurethral resection of the urethral polyp with a simultaneous excision of the cystic formation via a perineal approach followed by a left-sided funiculolysis and orchiopexy were performed. Discussion focuses on the etiology and differential diagnosis of this unusual complex entity.
